As a licensed social worker, I am ethically bound to oppose systems that harm, dehumanize, or marginalize people. In alignment with the NASW Code of Ethics, I do not support ICE practices that inflict fear, family separation, or trauma, and I stand in solidarity with Minnesota communities, immigrants, and all marginalized people. My work affirms the dignity, safety, and inherent worth of every human being.

I still have a dream."

When people respond to others losing help like SNAP benefits, with cruelty or “they shouldn’t need it anyway,” it often isn’t just about politics. It’s about pain.

Some people grew up in homes where no one met their hurt with empathy. Where being strong was the only way to be loved. Where needing help meant being shamed.

So when they see others receiving compassion or support, it stirs something old, a buried ache they never got to feel safe expressing. Instead of empathy, out comes judgment. Instead of connection, defensiveness.

It’s easier to harden than to remember what it felt like to need and not be met.

But we don’t heal by repeating the harshness we endured. We heal by learning it’s safe to care again, for ourselves and for others.

Compassion isn’t weakness. It’s what breaks the cycle. ❤️

At Serenity Shores we are donating 10 percent of all dollars recieved(before expenses) to local food pantries. Kendall, our customer service coordinator dropped off over 100 lbs of food last week, and also included lots of Hygeine supplies that are not covered by SNAP. She will do so again this week and Serenity Shores will continue to do this and are grateful we can.
